Princess-Majestrix Lilandra Neramani (/lɪˈlændrə/) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with the X-Men. She is the Empress, or Majestrix, of the Shi'ar Empire and shares a lifelong bond with the leader of the X-Men, Charles Xavier. As the Empress, Lilandra is protected by the Imperial Guard, led by Gladiator.
Lilandra has often been a pivotal secondary character in the X-Men's history, from her participation in the Phoenix Saga, to her role in Grant Morrison's experimental and controversial run on New X-Men. Her role as one of Professor X's most cherished loves has played a significant part in the development of both characters, as well as many of the plots throughout the X-Men books.
Lilandra has appeared in various media outside comics, including animated series and video games. She was voiced by Camilla Scott in X-Men: The Animated Series, Morla Gorrondona in the sequel series X-Men '97, and Nika Futterman in a guest appearance in Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.
